Ted Haggard Returns to Ministry…
Ted Haggard, who was exposed in 2006 after a gay sex scandal, recently at a press conference stated he has filed incorporation papers for a new church named St. James Church.
Haggard stated that he had been broken and that his new church would be a place for broken people. He did say his church would espouse that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but that he would stay out of public policy discussions.
No doubt many will disagree with his decision.
Summit Christian Center
After taking a couple weeks off to move into our new home on the west side of San Antonio, I finally had to go back to work. This past Sunday I ministered for my long time good friend Rick Godwin at Summit Christian Center. Pastor Rick and Cindy finally got away for a well deserved long overdue vacation. I have the opportunity to minister at the Summit at least once a year. It was so good to be back and to see our many friends. Since it was the week before Father’s Day I chose to minister on “Four Things My Dad Left Me.”
Home at last…
I realize it has been a couple of weeks since I’ve added a post. If you follow this blog then you know we have been very busy downsizing and moving into our half the square footage new home across town. Yes it’s a nice feeling living in a new home, but it’s even a better feeling getting rid of a lot of crap (pardon the expression). We were able to give away another whole house full of furniture that would not fit. We now are like a newly wed couple just getting started in our new life.
ENJOYING YOUR JOB…
How do you feel about your job? Maybe you hate it or maybe you love it. But you can learn to enjoy it. I hear someone say, “yes but you don’t have my job?” You’re right but I was thinking at this particular time of high unemployment and economic downturn you should be thankful to have a job. Your job may be goal making or homemaking, you could work in a classroom or a boardroom, but the question is still the same. How do you feel about your job?
Good Neighbors
Preacher’s Wife and I are finally moved into our new home (with the exception of 25 or 30 boxes left to unpack). I never realized how much I would enjoy Hill Country Retreat here in San Antonio (a Del Webb adult community). We’ve already met over 10 of our new neighbors up and down the street and actually had a meaningful conversation. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Of course you know I travel on the weekends when most working people have the weekend off, therefore I rarely got to know any of our neighbors at the old address.
Kindle vs iPad…
I love my ipad, I love my Macbook Pro, I love my iphone and I love my ipod. But I also love my Kindle. There’s so much to be said about both.
The thing that bugs me about people’s reactions to the iPad is when people say it’s a Kindle killer. First of all, I’m pretty sure that most of the people saying such things do not own a Kindle. I do. The Kindle is a a totally different device.
Here’s where the Kindle wins out:
-Battery life: 10 days vs. 10 hours.
-Form factor. This is the biggest one and there
